"I tend to like colors with a bit of gray in them. They're more sophisticated. This can look blue or gray or green depending on the time of day. It's got that Swedish thing — a tranquil, soft elegance. Beautiful with chalky-white wood and a bit of gilt. Red and aqua would also be divine." —Alex Papachristidis

"It's hot here in Atlanta, and this gray-brown-green is peaceful and cool. I used it in my own bedroom with a four-poster bed dressed in white embroidered linen and a collection of creamware chargers hung on the walls. I love cream, white, gilt, and silver, and all those things look so pretty against this color." —Jackye Lanham
